Z-Trak2 3D Profiler Sensors
System requirements
The following information is a guide to computer and networking equipment required to use the
Z-Trak2 series of profile sensors.
Host PC system
•
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
10 (32-64 bits) compatible, with 8 GB or more system memory, 16 GB
highly recommended.
•
To grab at 5 GigE speed (S-Series), the minimum system requirement is an intel i7 with
8 logical cores, with 16 GB of DDR (or equivalent system).
•
Dedicated display card with GPU capabilities.
•
A network adapter card (NIC) supporting the desired link speed and number of ports if using
multiple Z-Trak2 devices (see section Compatible GigE network adapters and switches):
•
V-2K series: 1 Gb Ethernet (1 GigE)
•
S-2K series: 5, 2.5 or 1 Gb Ethernet (5, 2.5 or 1 GigE)
•
CAT 6 Ethernet cable
10/100 Mb Ethernet is not supported by the Z-Trak2 series of profilers. The Status
LED will show that it acquired an IP address (solid Blue), but Z-Trak2 will not function
at these slower connections.
Compatible GigE network adapters and
switches
Network devices connected to Z-Trak2 S-Series 3D sensors must support 5, 2.5 or 1 GigE
connections.
To utilize the full 5 GigE bandwidth output of the Z-Trak2, all network hardware between the
3D sensor and the host computer must be capable of handling 5 Gbps bandwidth.
Certain 10 Gbps devices do not support 5 Gbps (or 2.5 Gbps) speeds; connecting
5 Gbps devices results in the connection speed lowered to the common supported
speed of 1 Gbps.
